Starting The Mandalorian. It's damn good.
Also, fun fact: in the Before Times, I took a Business Law course. One of the things we did before we got into the law (sadly, we didn't really do much legal analysis before shit got real) was ask and answer five questions. One of them was "what celebrity would you most like to interview?" My pick? Werner Herzog. If you knew anything about his career, you'd understand why. He's been a filmmaker for over half a decade, created many great movies (and has managed to make one film on every continent) and a wealth of bizarre and fascinating stories in his personal life (e.g. pulling a steamboat up a mountain for a movie [with methods actually more difficult than the actual event it was portraying], brushing off GETTING SHOT during an interview, breaking into China to film a scene that doesn't actually have any bearing on the plot of the actual film, Hypnotising almost the entire cast of one of his films, becoming the world's first Baby Yoda stan and even chastening the crew for even considering replacing the puppet with a CGI version [and without even having seen any of the films in the series beforehand, mind you], eating his shoes after losing a bet with Errol Morris, almost digging up Ed Gein's mother's grave and being stopped only by a flat tire, and starting his career by stealing a 35mm camera from the Munich Film School, which he claims he had "A natural right to," among MANY others.) Not one person in the class knew who he was. I wonder what would have happened if I said "he's the old dude from The Mandalorian."

Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
